Qld Water Minister flags privatisation ...

... says he's learnt a thing or two from Singapore.

Excerpt from the Courier Mail:

DAMS and desalination plants could become like toll roads with the private sector allowed to turn a profit by building and operating water infrastructure.

With the State Government facing a $9 billion-plus bill to address southeast Queensland's water crisis, Water Minister Craig Wallace has insisted private sector involvement is considered.


Mr Wallace recommended a review be undertaken into the benefits of allowing private companies to build infrastructure and sell water to the public.


See - First we make them drink recycled water, then we privatise it.
